How can I get the Hotel Bucks promised me by Hotels.com? They were promised six weeks ago. All e-mail inquires resulted in boilerplate answers, "there is a 4-6-week response time," as though they never read that I've already waited six. I was told today they [the Hotel Bucks] were never mailed. From my recent research, it looks like this is the common procedure: Promise them, then don't send them, claim it is an error, and wait six weeks more, and on and on. Thank you for your assistance! –Kathi, Birmingham, Ala.

Peter, My husband and I love to travel, and as our only daughter lives in France, we NEED to travel to visit her, our son-in-law, and granddaughter. Recently, we bought a small apartment in Paris (where they have been living for the past 8 years) and have built a Web site for rental of the apartment when we are not using it. As we have only recently started to solicit renters, do you have any suggestions on how to direct visitors to the site, www.theParisApt.com? It is a lovely one-bedroom in a wonderful neighborhood (the 15th arrondissement). Many thanks. –Donna, Germantown, Md.
